All I can say is that I had
created a folder for my posts in Word doc files that I see now it contains 734
files, but my blog here has few more than 400 posts, therefore I'm going to
re-post some of those writings made since 2008 that - even if not really
contemporary - express ideas of permanent value, just like this one:
Very much has been written about the feeling of love in
humans and I truly cannot (according to Erik) add anything intelligent to this
complex concept.
What I want to simply express is that love is a feeling
uniquely human, if we see any animal taking care of the newborns or mate to
have them, it’s just because their instincts somehow “force” them to do so.
As much as we descend from African monkeys (according to
Darwin and Michele) we have the capacity of love feelings that make us
act accordingly that’s uniquely human, therefore our mating and taking care of
our newborns isn’t something coming from the “genes programming” like in any
animal, but it’s truly something that resides in the human brain (not in the
heart- as commonly thought) in addition us humans do have the soul, another
major difference from animals, this brings me to say what I consider to be
important, or that when we die our souls continue to exist with all of our
memories and go “somewhere” depending in what you believe in.
Us Catholics have embraced what the immortal poet Dante
Alighieri described in his Comedy, that given that it was a “collection of
popular beliefs on the streets” in his times (about 1.200 -1.300 years) might
just be a poetic fantasy.
What’s true however is that our souls end up somewhere after
our bodies cease to function and there remain in eternity and – aside what the
Comedy tells – if some person has caused to another to suffer or die eternity
in what’s been called hell is sure.
So why would anyone trade few decades of success, importance
and wealth here when it’s compared to the eternity of hell?
I just want to mention a couple of facts consistent with
this post, or that the 17th century French mathematician Pascal
Wager stated that “it’s better (more convenient) to believe that a God exists,
rather than not” and what Pope Francis recently stated or that even atheists
have access to heaven, as long as they never hurt anyone else, here too I could
write an entire new post in reference to what several people have caused to me
to be hurt and humiliated, but not here.
